About the Artist

Biography

"Born in 1952, David Christie grew up primarily in California's Mojave Desert. He studied pure mathematics at MIT, particularly mathematical logic and foundations, a background which is reflected in many of his forms..."

Artist's Statement

"Ceilings are great! When we look up, we have automatically opened ourselves, searching for something other than ordinary life. My job as an artist is to find this other world, locate desirable pathways into it, and construct objects which lead the viewer in these directions." For more yada yada, click here.

The Studio

"This is where the cutting, folding, bending, texturing, hanging and balancing takes place -- a process which begins with simple metal sheet and rod, a purely structural industrial material, and gives it life, transforming it into something which can inspire wonder."  If you want to see what a real artist's studio looks like, don't click here.
